When will interest rates come down?

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

An officer in the Prime Minister's close protection team has been arrested over alleged bets on when the general election would be held. We have the latest from Westminster. Also tonight: As inflation hits the Bank of England's target for the first time in almost three years - could the Bank cut interest rates tomorrow? We speak to a former deputy governor of the Bank. Scientists have found micro plastics in penises for the first time. How concerned should we be about micro plastics entering the human body? And what now for the Tartan Army as Scotland earn a draw with Switzerland? We're live in Cologne.
